While Mcree is busy perfecting splashing as hard as he can while in the bathtub, or blowing bubbles face down on his high chair tray, or slinging food backwards from his highchair to Mera while screaming with joy, Gress is busy asking questions about the Bible. Yes, you read that right. Today Gress asked how old Joseph and Mary were when they they had baby Jesus. I said, I don’t know, probably the same age as your dad and I, and he said, “oh, they are young.” (I’m glad he thinks I am young). Tonight Rad and I were watching Jeopardy and Gress was sweetly sitting on the couch looking through his picture bible. And Rad was later reading it to him and Rad said, “Gress, what does G-O-D spell?” and Gress said, “Gress.” These boys make me smile, each in their own way!

As Rad’s Mom, I had the privilege of experiencing he and Jay
growing up. I see Jay in Gress, and Rad in Mcree. Jay being more serious and really grew up quickly, and from day one, wanted to learn learn learn, such as the things he learns in school. Rad had this over-the-top IMAGINATION …..along with a bit of mischieveness and curiosity….just like I am seeing in Mcree. On my recent visit, I could see this so clearly with both of the boys.
Thank you Em for sharing the boys with us. Almost as good as being there. You and Rad are doing a great job.
